webcamoid/webcamoid: Webcamoid is a full featured and multiplatform webcam suite.

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/04/11

See [Wayback/Archive] Security Update Guide FAQs

Microsoft schedules the release of security updates on “Patch Tuesday,” the second Tuesday of each month at 10:00 AM PST.

Depending on time zone(s) in which the organization operates, IT pros should plan their deployment schedules accordingly. Please note that there are some products that do not follow the Patch Tuesday schedule.

I posted a gist and a Tweet, but didn’t immediately thought of a good resolution so I postponed that until Thursday and found it:

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/02/28

Below is a list of the Borland documentation that BitSavers added in 2022, ordered by relevance to me (and how I finally asked Peter Sawatzki if he still had the monochrome TDVIDEO.DLL he wrote for Turbo Debugger 3.0 for Windows):
